I'm a huge fan of Dave Holland as a bassist/composer and bandleader. To me, he exemplifies what can happen to musical statements when they're guided by a bassist. There's a lyricism that evokes a folk-like quality in much of the playing on this album. Hugely influential to me in my formative years as a bassist/ composer.
